Despite alarming consequences, including over six million deaths and widespread economic damage, the civil aviation industry requires a holistic "germ-free flying" approach. To address this, universities can develop tailored courses of study, fostering collaboration between students, industry members, and authorities on: - Interdisciplinary Research: Collaborate across epidemiology, virology, materials science, and engineering. - Disinfectant and Detection Technologies: Develop effective, safe, and sustainable solutions. - Airborne Pathogen Transmission Studies: Investigate microorganism spread through air circulation systems. - Enhanced Cleaning Protocols: Establish rigorous, regularly updated procedures. - Passenger Education and Awareness: Integrate pandemic prevention into safety briefings
